[Putnawa's Blog] A friendly request

[Putnawa]

I've been approached to provide a sample advice column for a friend's tiny publication that, IMHO, could actually grow into something interesting. She's looking for something a little snarky, but with true advisory merit. I'm hoping I can pull it off and become the next controversial syndicated advice columnist from Seattle.

What I'm having trouble with, unfortunately, is coming up with questions to which I can respond authentically. Obviously, when I make up the questions, I'm doing so with an eye to how I'd like to respond. This isn't working for me creatively, nor do I think it's likely to result in good product.

This is where you come in. I would love, love, LOVE it if my dear friends (you) could send me some advice-column-worthy questions -- real or not, yours or not -- that I could use as a starting point for my teeny, tiny endeavor. Please email me or post in the comments.

I'm not sure how this is going to go, so I'm not going to make any guarantees about actually getting back to you with a response, just so you know.

Thanks for your help!
